Resident doctors have just agreed a deal with us to stop the strikes.
This deal will see better pay progression, better career opportunities, and better working conditions for resident doctors.
Together, we can get on with delivering for patients and cutting waiting lists.

It is difficult to put into words just how tough it is for our frontline staff at the moment. We are really worried about the toll that flu and other viruses are taking on our patients and on services across the NHS.

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.
Pharmacies can give treatment advice and recommend flu remedies if you need it.

π | Burnout, low staffing levels and increasing patient need, are forcing staff to quit early, not long after registration.
With more staff leaving and fewer joining, this is a perfect storm which threatens patient care.

In 2020, we ended our strike based on the βNew Decade, New Approachβ promise that nursing staff in NI would never again fall behind UK pay parity. Enough is enough. Itβs unacceptable that our members may face industrial action yet again just to get the same pay as colleagues across the water. Weβve worked tirelessly in a broken system to care for patientsβyet we get no pay rise and even talk of settling for less. Our message is clear: our strike mandate is live. Restore pay parity now, or see us back on the picket lines. #PayParity #FairPayForNINurses
@RCN_NI It is unbelievable that once again our members could be forced to take industrial action to get a pay rise. They have worked tirelessly in a broken system to try to deliver for patients . Their reward ? No payrise yet and a suggestion they may have to accept less. Just No
